Title: Beginners head shaving kit, what should I get?
Post by: Chico D on May 30, 2007, 02:07:42 PM: Alright, still haven't shaved yet, I'm in the process of building confidence and finding a good time.

What should I get? I don't want a shiny head, and I would like a rather quick shave, so that I don't get lazy and will want to do it every day.

I would also like to maintain the non glossyness throughout the day, and I would want to be able to get color, while not getting burnt. Suggestions? I'm lookin for a beginning to end routine here.

Thanks a lot guys.

when i shaved mine i got 5 tanning sessions deal and did that to get some color on quick.

if you dont want a shiny head then use the headlube "Matte" lotion.....theres also Matte for men with spf 25..and i'm sure baldguyz.com has some too

Post by: Scott on May 30, 2007, 11:24:41 PM: I just shaved my dome for the 1st time today and used a Mach III, though I did recently purchase a Headblade just haven't used it yet.

Try out the HeadShed Exfoliator, then use HeadLube, and then ClearHead, followed by the Matte lotion. I tried the "Glossy" lotion today and the result was way too much shine IMO. Headblade also has some sunscreen too called HeadShade but I haven't used it yet.

Look around here on the forum for alternatives - a couple of the guys have mentioned other products also.

Also, as someone who's been on the fence about going SLY, I finally shaved it all off today and I gotta tell you it's quite liberating. Go for it!

Post by: Jay on June 03, 2007, 09:05:50 AM: if you haven't shaved you head yet, I would say to save your money. Use your existing wet razor and decide if you like it and want to keep it before dishing out for a HB and related products.
Title: Re: Beginners head shaving kit, what should I get?
Post by: Kajun on June 03, 2007, 09:27:29 AM: thats good advice there Jay...no use in buying all the HB stuff if you dont like the sly look.
